Title screen shots don't really need to be shown here (or anywhere in the report). The inventory objects should, though.


==HUD stretch==

Are there any HUD elements other than the inventory (which don't really count as HUD, since they are interactive)?

Are there HUD elements other than the inventory items?

Only the icons when talking, I just checked them and they are streched too.

I believe you, but can you add some screenshots for completion's sake?

[geeman]

Here is te cursor, kind of hard to see on the screenshot, but it's not stretched.



And here is the picture for the talking icons, it's same as with the inventory



I also noticed that the text is stretched too as you can see from above pics.

I tested the GOG version with multi monitor at 7680x1600. I added a screen shot to additional pictures. There was no upload bottom for multi monitor and 7680x1600 wasn't in the options so I selected 7680x1440p. Both probably work similarly.
